After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks snuck past the Pistons 93-89. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
